business work smarter, not harder. The

jobs, even while documents are being

a 100-sheet reversing document feeder,
automatic duplexing and electronic sorting
with offset stacking, you’ll complete even
large jobs in a snap. With Sharp’s large
customizable touch-screen display,
operating the MX is simple and easy.
Reliability that will keep up

are designed to provide exceptional
performance and productivity day after day!
With copy/print speeds up to 23 ppm and 27
ppm respectively (in both color or B&W), you
will have your jobs finished with time to
spare. A total on-line paper capacity of up
to 5,600 sheets means that the MX is ready
when you are.
An easy-to-use, low
maintenance color document
system that makes sense
The new MX-2300N and MX-2700N are
designed to accommodate both large and
small office environments. With a compact
wingless design, the footprint of each base
model is less than 24” x 27”. Convenient,
front-loading paper drawers and easy-to-
change toner cartridges make maintaining
the MX series simple and uncomplicated. Our
new long-life consumable parts and supplies
minimize service intervals and down time,
resulting in lower operating costs.
And to make managing all of the advanced
features of your MX model simple and easy, ask
your Authorized Sharp dealer about MY Sharp.
